New TV Series to watch

[TxBuckeye]

Unfortunately, the upcoming 5th season will the last. Great show, though.

Yes, I stated that

I Think You Should Leave is back. Season 1 was great. Season 2 is definitely a lot weirder/out there, but it is still pretty funny.

Is it weirder? Season 1 is pretty bonkers already. There were some solid sketches and great performances in Season 2, but I thought the writing & variety was lacking compared to 1 (which set an incredibly high bar IMO).

I'm late to the party, but I finished Lovecraft Country the other day. Was very saddened to hear that they will not be doing a season 2. Great performances and just the right amount of wonky story telling. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Would still recommend even though they aren't planning a second season (as of now).

I was definitely disappointed, but I thought it was still good. It was for sure a lot more weird in my opinion with some of those skits going on for a while.

LFG. Fun fact: They allowed Chucky to drop 10 F bombs.

I like the sort of Ash Vs. Evil Dead vibe they seem to be going for. Looks like good, dumb fun.

I'm weighing up beginning either "Vikings" or "The Last Kingdom." Which do I begin and why?

Also, "The White Lotus" on Netflix features one of the best television soundtracks/scores I've ever heard. The music seriously elevates that series to another level.

The Last Kingdom is a much better show.

That's on HBO. And yeah, the music is fantastic.

Yeah, I don't know why I said Netflix. Definitely HBO. I was actually watching Netflix at the time so I think I may have just written that in error!

I have one episode left in Season 2 of Big Little Lies on HBO. It can be a little soap-y, but the storylines definitely pull you in. Very good cast too.

Last Kingdom is amazing. Terrific.

Vikings starts off good. Until Ragnar leaves the show.

First 3-4 seasons are good.

But LK is superior all the way through.

My body is ready!

 

[The Human Q-Tip]

Obviously not new, but I just started watching Stargate SG-1. I was pretty shocked to see what a good job they did with the military aspects of the show. Must have had a hell of a technical advisor.

As the resident Gate expert, they had USAF technical advisors and theoretical physicists on the writing team. Stargate is probably my #1 sci fi universe. Hoping to god that Amazon will pick up Brad Wright's latest show that will be a canon continuation rather than a reboot.
